Phillip Schofield is set to host a bizarre new game show where the guests will be hypnotised. What will they think of next?

The ITV programme – currently with the inspired working title You’re Back In The Room – will see Schofield team up with Irish trickster Kevin Barry, who will put contestants into a trance before they attempt various challenges.

The ‘entertainment’ part of the show will come from contestants having been tricked into believing they are incapacitated in ways that hamper their chances of winning.

You’re Back In The Room is going to be trialed this week, with ITV reportedly planning to run a full series in the autumn.

A source revealed to The Mirror about the show: ‘Family TV’s been dominated by talent contests and reality TV, so bosses are keen for something totally different.’
